A Couple U2 Tour Rumors For You

Two interesting items have popped up in today's press that concern the Vertigo Tour - rumored dates in 2006 and a new opening act!

First, The Boston Globe is citing an uncredited source when it states: "Word is the Irish lads, who are on a never-ending tour to promote ''How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," are nearing a deal to occupy the outfield next summer for two nights. Neither the Sox nor Clear Channel would comment yesterday, but the band has demonstrated it's a big fan of Boston." The entire item is here.

Lastly, perhaps a 3rd Leg Support announcement is not far behind now that Super Furry Animals have stated the following to the Telegraph: "We've been offered the support slot on five U2 shows, three Oasis shows and $1 million for a Coke advert." That entire piece is here.

Many thanks to Chrissi!

I hope this rumor is true, as I just heard word that they are extending the tour again! If so this will be my 1st U2 concert I am psyched!

I'd be surprised if they'd cart all their gear back to america again after the australian leg.

Unless they're planning a full blown leg, it wouldn't make financial sense
